It was obvious that this bird egg was not an ordinary item. In addition, it actually had the same effect of absorbing the black fog as him. It was difficult for Gu Xiao not to imagine the source of this bird egg.

At first, when Gu Xiao saw this bird egg and the patterns on it, he thought that this bird egg was probably the egg of a certain spirit beast. However, now that he saw it, he guessed that the origin of this bird egg was even greater than he had imagined.

The next day, under Ling Yao’s lead, the villagers had already packed their luggage and were preparing to leave.

Everyone gathered at the entrance of the village. Everyone was very sad. The Divine Tree Village was built by them single-handedly. Under the protection of the Lord Divine Tree, the village prospered day by day. If not for the sudden descent of this black fog natural disaster, the Divine Tree Village would have gotten better and better.

The old man sighed and the child cried. No one was willing to leave, but if they didn’t leave, what could they do?

A little girl ran in front of Ling Yao and looked at her pitifully.

“Village chief, can we come back in the future?”

Although Ling Yao was depressed, she still forced a smile and patted the little girl’s head.

“Don’t worry. As long as there’s a chance in the future, we’ll come back.”

Ling Yao was probably the one who was suffering the most out of all of them. This Divine Tree Village had accumulated a lot of her blood, sweat, and tears. Now that she had left just like that, it would be a lie to say that she did not feel terrible.

Ling Yao shook her head. Just as she was about to open the door, a bright light suddenly attracted everyone’s attention.

Everyone looked up and saw a huge ball of light in the sky. As soon as this ball of light appeared, the surrounding black fog instantly decreased.

Ling Yao did not know what was inside the ball of light. She was afraid that it would be dangerous for the villagers, so she quickly blocked the villagers behind her. The other cultivators in the village also jumped out and prepared to fight.

A decaying figure appeared in the ball of light. Just from the figure, one could feel extreme pressure. Those who did not cultivate even felt a little suffocated.

At this moment, the figure in the ball of light shouted, “How many more years can you trap me?”

After the figure in the ball of light finished shouting, the black fog surrounding the mountain and the village began to gradually dissipate. Wherever it passed, it was desolate.

The villagers in the village noticed the ball of light, and Gu Xiao, who was at the top of the mountain, naturally noticed it too.

From the decaying figure and the extremely oppressive voice, Gu Xiao could roughly guess that something was suppressed here.

At this moment, the ball of light dimmed. At the same time, the figure in the ball of light actually fled into the depths of the Great Desolate. At the same time, a few ripples quickly flashed behind the figure.

Gu Xiao was shocked. Those ripples were created by stirring the space, which meant that there was an unknown horror chasing behind the ball of light.

Terrifying! The outside world was simply terrifying! It seemed that hiding was the way to go.

The black fog disappeared. Ling Yao brought the few of them and ran around the mountain a few times. Not a trace of the black fog could be found. Only the dried corpse lying on the ground that had lost control reminded everyone that a calamity-level black fog had indeed descended just now.

Ling Yao was secretly overjoyed. Now, she didn’t have to leave the village. At the same time, she organized the villagers to collect the dried corpses on the mountain and dig a hole to bury them and burn them to prevent endless trouble in the future.

The refugees outside the village, Ling Yao, asked Gu Xiao for instructions and asked them to stay.

The villagers all believed that it was definitely thanks to the Divine Tree that they were able to avert the danger this time. With the protection of the Divine Tree, they would definitely live to a hundred years old. This mountain had never been named, so the villagers named it Longevity Peak.

At night, Gu Xiao entered the dreams of the three sect brothers again and told them about the ball of light and the black fog.

When Bai Mingxuan, Liu Yang, and Liu Shengtian heard this, they heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that the village was fine.

Liu Yang recalled what his master had told him today, so he said to Gu Xiao, “Lord Divine Envoy, I mentioned this black fog to my master today, but I learned something extraordinary.”

“Our Divine Tree Village is located in the vast Great Desolate. There are several devils suppressed by the Divine Flame Kingdom around the vast wilderness. These devils will come out every few decades to harm people. Once they are discovered, someone will come to suppress them.”

“On the other side of the Divine Flame Kingdom, there is a True Cultivation Kingdom that is much stronger than the Divine Flame Kingdom. It is said that the True Cultivation Kingdom and the Divine Flame Kingdom have their own plans in the Great Desolate.

When Gu Xiao heard this, his face darkened. Not to mention the stronger True Cultivation Kingdom, even the Divine Flame Kingdom was something he had never heard of before.

This black fog was probably the work of one of the devils that had been suppressed. Regardless of the Divine Flame Kingdom, the True Cultivation Kingdom, or any devil that had been suppressed, Gu Xiao could not care less about them for the time being. The most important thing now was to work hard to develop himself.

After the black fog incident, including the refugees who survived outside the wall and joined the Divine Tree Village, Gu Xiao gained many more believers.

The development of the village was getting better and better. However, once the population increased, it was followed by the problem of food.

Gu Xiao’s roots were intertwined on Longevity Peak, so he knew which piece of land had better soil quality. Hence, he instructed Ling Yao to bring the villagers to the few pieces of land that Gu Xiao had designated for them to cultivate.

The chosen land was very suitable for growing food. Coupled with the existence of a mountain god like Gu Xiao, it was difficult for the food to not be harvested.

The granary that was originally almost empty gradually filled up again. When she got up and looked at the granary that was about to overflow one after another, Ling Yao was so happy that her mouth was about to turn crooked.

Days returned to normal. The village developed steadily step by step. The old people were busy helping the young people share some of the work. The children were busy cultivating, while the young men and women were busy making babies.

Year after year, year after year, year after year. In the second year, a new batch of children was born.

Children were the most important thing in the development of the village. Gu Xiao ordered Ling Yao to choose some children with good aptitude and nurture them.

Divine Martial Sect.

In Bai Mingxuan and Liu Yang’s room, the two of them were currently at the final juncture. If they passed this stage, Bai Mingxuan would officially become one of the top four Foundation Establishment experts.

At that time, Liu Yang would also become the youngest peak Connate expert in history.

After experiencing this black fog incident, the two of them understood that strength was the true way to protect the village as much as possible in the future. This understanding also made the two of them realize that there was no such thing as the strongest, only stronger.

BOOM!

With the final breakthrough, the two of them broke through almost at the same time. Bai Mingxuan caught up to Ling Yao again and reached the Foundation Establishment Realm. Liu Yang also became the youngest peak Connate Realm expert in history.
